AGRICULTURAL.
Keeping Potatoes is "Winter. Potatoes
spoil in winter, if buried, from three causes.
First and greatest, want of ventilation. Sec
ondly, and nearly allied, dampness. Thirdly,
and more rare, freezing. Farmers find most
of their potatoes spoiled at the top of tho
heap; where they suppose they became frozen;
but this is not the nsual cause, the damp, foul,
steamy air ascended there, and could not es
cape, and this spoiled them. A hole made in
the top, with a crowbar, and closed with a
wisp of straw, would have allowed egress to
the confined air, and saved the potatoes.
The best way to seenre potatoes out-door,
is to take large heaps, say 50 or 60 bushels ;
see that they are dry and clean, by digging
before wet weather comes on ; cover them all
over with one foot of packed straw, and three
Inches of earth. The straw will prevent damp
ness, and the lew inches of earth will favor
ventilation. A farmer who raises many pota
oes, and practices this mods, dozs uot los3 a
peck, on the average, in 50 bushels.
Hess as Eggs. For several years past I
have spent a tew weeks of the latter part of
August on tho Kennebec river, in Maine
The lady with whom I have stopped is a highly
accomplished and intelligent housewife. She
supports a '-hennery," and from her I derived
my information in this matter. She told me
that for many years she had been in the habit
of administeing to her hens with their com
mon food, at the rate of a teaspoonfnl of cay
enne pepper each alternate day, to a dozen
fowls. Last season, when I was with her,
each morning she brought in from twelve to
fourteen eggs, having but sixteen hens in all
She again and again experimented in the mat
ter, by omitting to feed with the cayenne for
two or three days. Tho consequence invari
able was, that her product of eggs fell off to
five or sis per day. The same efiect of using
the cayenne is produced iu winter as well as in
thejsummer. Boston Transcript.
Yaixe of Straw is Manures. It is found
by careful chemical esamination, that differ
ent kinds of straw possess quite different val
ues, to work up into manure. This relativo
value is very nearly determined by the quan
tity of nitrogen they contain. Barley straw
is the poorest of all ; oat and rye straws are
about one-third better ; wheat is nearly don
blo in value to barley ; buckwheat is rather
better than wheat ; meadow hay or corn-stalks
are far ahead of any of these, being five times
as rich in nitrogen as barley straw ; and red
clover hay and pea-straw are each about eight
times as rich as barley. Whether these sub
stances are mixed directly with manure, or
eaten first by animals, they produce their rel
ative effect.
HOW OLD BEN HARDING GOT HIS WIFE.
Romance is sometimes embodied in a f.ict
six inches long.' Old Ben Harding cf Ken
tucky, got his wife by a iich and funny strata
gem. In the days of his young manhood, be was
workman on the farm of a very wealthy land
holder in the Stat, and there sprung up be
tween the young laborer and the old man's
daughter, what is often called a "secret attach
ment." ' By the by attachments arc generally secret.
Ben and Lis Dulcina made out matters in prop
er time, without the knowledge or consent of
his intended father-in-law. Indeed the old
man had never suspicioned that the aspira
tions of the youth were tending towards an
alliance with his family and if it had ever
occured to him he would have always spurn
ed the thought. Ben was aware or bis aris
tocratic notions and of the existence of al
most insurmountable olfactions to the match
So one day, consulting the ingenuity of nature,
he devised ways and mean3 to bring it about.
Going to the old man, he told him that,
unfortunately he had conceived a liking for
the daughter of a wealthy farmer in the neigh
borhood that it was impossible ' to gain the
consent of the girl's fattier that ho loved
her and she loved him ; and asked what
course he would advise him to pursue.
'Won't she run away with you ?" said the
old man.
"She might," answered Ben, "I could make
the arrangements. Do you think it would be
. honorable for me to take the advantage of
that !"
"Certainly," replied the originator of the
plot. Thtre would be nothing wrong."
Ben so enlisted the old man that he made
him a tender of his horse and buggy, and a
few dimes to carry out the enlopement. The
place of meeting was arranged and reader
you know what followed.
Ben ran oS with the old man's daughter, a
fact which the old fellow snuffed in the next
mornings breeze, and one which chagrined
him not a little. Winding cp as novels do,
Bea and his wife were forgiven.
CortDx'i Oset the Scriptcres. Two boys
were fighting a few days ago, when a gentle
man, seeing the larger one pammeling the oth
er rather severely, seized him and pulled him
into his store. The boy in a blubbering tone
said, "look he has given me a black eye," and
started to re-attack him. - Stop," said the
gentleman, detaining him, "don't you know
we are commanded by the Scriptures, when
smitten on one cheek to turn the other ?"
"Yes," replied the boy, still blubbering,
"that would be a h- of a note ; then I'd have
two black eyes."
As Ixterestiso Spectacle the Democracy
in the City Ilall Park, New York, rejoicing
over a victory by consuming a generous quan

vThks we see a man sitting on a corner, on
a mocnligbt night, trying to convince his own
shadow that it is improper to follow a gentle
man, we usually set him down as a good sub
ject for a sign at a whiskey shop.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 185T-8.
The Tribune was first issued as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1S41. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y-ar ; its
semi-weekly in May, lS4o. It was the hrst daily
in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at
a low price, and it has kept at least even with the
foremost of its rivals in tbe rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, which the great extension
of Railroad.-), and the establishment of the Tele
graph system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded at
so low a price in any. quarter of the world ; none
in America, no matter at what price issued, rays
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellec
tual labor. It employs correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most
important points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Edito
rials. In that spirit. '-The Tribune" has been and
will bo conducted, estendicand perfecting its
correspondence so fast, os the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old w"ith the NcwWorld
by the magnetic wire prove sueecssful.we shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a corresponding advantage to our readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceeding day's
occurrences throughout Europe. Northern Africa
and Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects
of hither Europe. With a good atlas bcide him
and his daily paper on his fireside table, the A.
merican farmer or artisan within a dcy's ride of
the city may tben study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughout the day preced
ing : and it seems hardly possible that any who
can read, but especially ono who has children to
educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live'further inland : though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or e
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune deals with questions cf Political
Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual. Moral,
Social and Physical well be.ng of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
is the honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
si.herc or capacity, and tho consequent elevation
of tho Laboring "class in knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is-necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in the defense of Country and Liberty against
actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, w hile wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating
Tariff a policy which tends to increase tho price
of Grain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance a
cross which their respective products are exchang
ed and. of course, reducing the cost of their trans
fer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covetous
ncss, w ith unqualified abhorrence as the bane of
Republics and in their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo
and vviu the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises, of
developeuu-nt and beneficence at home, foremost
among which we rank a Railroad through the
heart ot our territory to connect tho waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific Believing that
tho goods of this life are not yet fairly distributed,
and that no ono ready to work should ever famish
in unwilling idleness, it lends aa open ear to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which does
not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, whose denial must sink inankindjnto the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be
other (in tho main) than needy and wretched, it
bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that the child trained up in
the way ho should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for tho thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that a true Education Religious, Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our race. Recognizing in tho most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out. we have charity for all forms of evil but those
which seek pcronul advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter impulses and aspirations, the harbinger of
general concord between Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions ha AO thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary once observed that he never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hato -The Tribune,' nor a generous, large-souled,
kindly ono, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation
The circulation of The Tribune is at this time
as follows : Daily, 32.0UU copies; Weekly. 17li.SoO
copies; Semi-Weekly, 16.000 copies; California
and European. G,0oo copies; Total, 2:)0,SOO copies.
That of tiic Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to be exceeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that of the Daily tails behind that
of some of our cotemporarics. Had our hostility
to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been
more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would
now be some thousands heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative; but of our patronage gen
erally we Lave no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the influcuco
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraint, while a
large number, we are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all. Still, wo have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capacity would have
stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage
f ourpaper3 within reach of their subscribers and
rightful owners, and their retention in the Fost-
Otfice till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
them living on their self-proclaimed ability to
serve as au antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our cxpenso the dis
vemmination of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, but we do net affect in
difference toit. In the open field of discussion.
we fear nothing; but in the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Posmastercan in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to t-ike the jour
nal he recommcads.we have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor
and Free Soil throughout the land to take care
that this official warfare on onr circulation be not
prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
the public harrassed with the solicitations of stran
ger in our behalf. We strike the name of each
subscriber to onr Weekly and Semi-AVeekly from
onr books as soon as his term has expired, for we
win not haunt our patrons with dans for arrears
wuicn iney may say they never intended to incur,
for papers which perhaps they never read ; we re
ly for the renewal of our subscriptions solely on
the volunteered efforts of those wh o. likin? onr rea
per, believe its influence salutary and worthy to
wrnaBii ana uius tar our rt'ianco has been
justified, as we trust it may continue to be.
